Be it known that I, JOHN Gnonen LUD- WIG, Jr., a citizen of the UnitedStates, re-

siding at Freeland, in the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in AdjustableSectional Bearings, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing This invention relates to a bearing and the principal objectof-the invention is to provide a hearing which is adjustably mounted sothatthe bearing block may be moved transversely to assume the proper position.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide an improved means formounting the T bearing block so that the adjustment will be and claimed.

permitted. v

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists of certainnovel combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts as will behereinafter fully described This invention is illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvedbearing. Fig. 2 is a topplan view of the bearing. Fig. 3 isan end elevation of the improvedbearing. Fig. 4 is a side View of the bearing block showing the groovesin which the set screws fit. r

This invention comprises a frame in which the bearing block is adjustably mounted and v of the side walls 11 into the grooves 18 of thebearing block 18 so that the bearing block may be held in an adjustedposition. J a1n-nuts 19 are carried by the set-screws 1 sired position.

The upper face 20 of the bearing block is curved as shown inFig. 1 so that a shaft may be rotatably supported bythe bearing block.An I-bolt 21 is carjrled by the block 18 so that the block may be easilywithdrawn from between the walls 11 when desired. When this device is inuse, the base-plate 10 is secured in place by suitable bolts(passing'through the openings 22 and the bearing block 18 is then put inplace "withthe shaftresting in the curved upper face of the block. Theset-screws 17 are then adjusted to bring the block in the, desired.

position and after the jam-nuts 19 are tightened, the cap .13 is thenput in place and secured by the nuts 16. -Openings 23 are provided. sothat oil maybe fed to the shaft, thus causingit to turn easily in thebearing. By this arrangement, the bearing block can be adjusted withoutit being necessary to remove the base-plate, and therefore, the samebearing may be used for a new shaft" of different size from the old one,without it being necessary to remove the base-plate. It is, of course,obvious that when the bearing block is moved the cap must also beadjusted."

What I claim, is: j

' I A bearing comprising a base having upstanding integral side walls,threaded pins carried by the upper; endsv of said walls, a bearing blockpositioned between said-walls,

said bearing block capable of longitudinal movement upon said basebetween said walls slnce the sides of sa d block are normally spaced ata distance from said walls, sa1d bearingblock provided with verticalgrooves upon its sides, set-screws passing through said sidewalls andpositioned within said groove so as to 'engage the sides of said bearingblock, sa1d set-screws, adapted to shift said block for adjusting thesame, said grooves bracing the inner ends of said screws, sa1d bearingblockfprovlded upon its upper side w1th a shaft receiving pocket, a
